Pollen and Protein Residue Analysis for the Mill Creek Swamp #1 Site, Rhode Island

Mill Creek Swamp #1 site, a Native American encampment, is located on a flat outwash terrace overlooking the swamp system associated with the Mill Creek Swamp. Features appear to represent camping, stone tool manufacture and maintenance, and resource processing and consumption. Six sediment samples were examined to provide a stratigraphic pollen record and a record of feature use. Ten projectile points were tested against antisera to identify any signatures that indicate use of these lithics.
